Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

Inuzukahara and Mitarashi Anko's squads broke away from the company and headed towards the land of water.

They crossed Zone 19 and greeted the zone squad.

The squad leader of the defense zone, Lingli, is a female ninja with light blonde wavy hair, a hot figure, and a dark green tight-fitting skirt under her open vest. She is smoking a thin cigarette.

Rinri was overjoyed to see that two small teams were about to enter the Land of Waterfalls.

They were no longer on the front line against the Iwa ninja; they also had two Konoha squads in front of them, which made them feel very safe!

Lingli took a long drag of the thin cigarette in her mouth, exhaled a long trail of blue smoke, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Captain Rinri, isn't your smile a bit too obvious?!" Uchiha Rin poured cold water on him.

"Once the Iwa ninja discover we've entered the Land of Waterfalls, they'll see it as a provocation. If we can escape quickly, we'll bring a large number of Iwa ninja with us, and then you'll be crying!"

The second puff of smoke in the bell stopped. Yes, that's also possible.

These two squads might not be there to shield them from bullets; they might be there to bring them trouble.

Inuzuka rolled her eyes at Uchiha Ryo and explained:

"Don't worry, our mission is reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, and we will avoid large-scale combat."

The ninjas in the defense squad looked a little better, but their stereotypes about the Uchiha clan only deepened.

The Uchiha clan—their expressions, their eyes, their tone—they're truly annoying.

After leaving Konoha's defense zone, Inuzukahara's workload increased significantly. He and his ninja dogs would sniff around from time to time, trying to distinguish the scents.

The scent contained information from the past few days, guiding Inuzukahara to search for the trail of the Iwa ninja.

Soon, they came to a terrace with a white waterfall hanging from it.

This is a unique terrain feature of the Land of Waterfalls.

The Land of Waterfalls is high in the northwest, near the Land of Earth, and low in the southeast, near the Land of Fire.

The elevation difference of more than 2,000 meters has created a series of plateaus.

The river transforms into a waterfall between the terraces, its white spray roaring.

Jumping onto one platform after another, Uchiha Ryo noticed a problem as he walked.

"Hey! Captain Inuzukahara! Are we still going to advance?"

Captain Makoto's order is for our squad to provide backup for your squad. If we continue onward, will we be heading into the Land of Earth?

"What are you going to do? Lead us to attack the Land of Earth?"

Mitarashi Anko also noticed the anomaly, but she didn't say anything and instead gave Uchiha Ryo a grateful look.

Sometimes having a troublemaker in a team isn't a bad thing.

As the squad leader, she couldn't speak up easily, but it was common knowledge that the Uchiha clan's hostility towards other Konoha ninjas was sometimes well-hidden, and sometimes impossible to conceal.

It's perfectly normal for Uchiha Ryo to raise questions.

Inuzuka Haru thought to himself, "Uchiha Ryo is really talking nonsense. This place is at least 500 kilometers away from the Land of Earth. How could we possibly enter the Land of Earth?"

Inuzuka said, "War is far more complicated than what you three little brats learned at the ninja academy."

The frontline troops are the garrison squads stationed in various defense zones.

Second-line troops are similar to our squadrons in terms of patrol support.

The third-line troops consist of the various assault forces of both sides.

The assault force may be a battalion or multiple battalions.

The assault team can quickly destroy the enemy's first and second-line troops.

However, if the assault troops are ambushed, they will also suffer the loss of one or several battalions.

The Iwagakure ninja are both hunters and prey, and so are we, the Konoha ninja.

To some extent, both the frontline defense squads and the second-line support squads are gathering intelligence for the assault troops.

Each assault unit was doing its best to conceal its intelligence. I had to go deep into the area to scout out if there were any assault units nearby.

And you, as the support team, will naturally need to go deeper in.

Uchiha Ryo shook his head:

"Captain Inuzukahara, all that babbling is just to get us to follow you closer and give you courage, right?"

"It's not shameful to just say you're afraid of death. Who isn't afraid of death? Who isn't fighting for Konoha while simultaneously fearing death?"

Inuzuka quickly said, "I'm absolutely not afraid of dying! I'm doing this to increase the mission's success rate!"

Uchiha Ryo looked at Inuzuka Hara with pity in his eyes:

"Poor Inuzuka clan, you were made and destroyed by ninja dogs. You are a clan trapped by ninja dogs."

The potential of ninja dogs is too low.

Your strengths are built on ninja dogs, and your weaknesses are also built on ninja dogs.

Because of the ninja dogs, you are going to carry out a dangerous reconnaissance mission.

Because of the ninja dogs, you can neither protect yourselves nor the ninja dogs when you encounter danger.

You people live worse than your dogs.

The large black dog whimpered softly, waiting for Inuzukahara's command, it couldn't wait to pounce on Uchiha Rin and tear him apart.

Inuzuka Hara, panting heavily, reached out and pressed his hand on the dog's head to stop the ninja dog from causing trouble.

"Uchiha Ryo, what makes your Uchiha clan any better?"

"On the battlefield, you send the Uchiha clan to the most dangerous places. See how many people speak up for you?"

"We Uchiha accept it. How many Uchiha have complained about this? We're being targeted, have we ever uttered a single complaint?"

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

Uchiha Ryo's composure left Inuzuka Hara speechless.

Inuzuka pointed in the direction of the waterfall: "Climb three more terraces up, your team will be waiting for me there!"

After climbing three terraces, Mitarashi Anko and the other two hid in the woods below.

Du Lejiong asked in a low voice, "Ling, did you really need to provoke Inuzukahara?"

"The rendezvous point is way too deep into the Land of Waterfalls. What, I'm about to die because of Inuzukahara's decision, and I can't even say a few words against him?"

Du Lejiong said nothing more. Uchiha Ling's mental illness was sometimes milder, but most of the time it was quite severe.

He also had to thank Uchiha Rin; without Uchiha Rin, they wouldn't know how dangerous the place they would have to go to to provide backup.

Mitarashi Anko said, "Inuzuka was originally a Chunin, while we are all Genin."

Jonin, Chunin, and Genin are not only ninja ranks, but also the ninja command system.

If a squad leader dies during battle, the genin should listen to the nearest chunin to avoid chaos on the battlefield.

We must obey his orders; this is one of the rules of ninja combat.

Uchiha Ryo's tone was erratic: "Battle regulations, orders, clans, villages... this web is a bit heavy..."

Inuzuka Hara led his team of three, leaping rapidly across the platform.

After searching for half an hour, no trace of a large gathering of Iwa ninja was found.

Search for another ten minutes. If you still haven't found any information, you can return safely.

He comforted the ninja dog, which kept whimpering softly.

"Don't be angry. All Uchiha are like this, hated by everyone. This isn't your problem, it's the Uchiha's problem."

The ninja dog dared not bark loudly, but only opened its mouth and clenched its teeth as a way of venting its anger.

Just then, a subordinate suddenly shouted, "Captain! Iwa ninja! So many Iwa ninja!"

Inuzuka Hara glanced at his subordinates with displeasure. How could there be any Iwa ninjas? There wasn't a trace of their presence around.

He looked up along his subordinate's trembling arm, and a chill ran down his spine.

The ninja dog's senses couldn't find the Iwa ninja, but his eyes had already spotted them!

Behind the waterfall, many figures stood indistinctly!
